I also had a Baltimore oriole ( first year male) today in Stonington. It was picking through the leaves on a clematis vine which grows near the feeders. It was accompanied by a ruby-crowned kinglet that has been coming for the last few days. The oriole hung upside down at the suet feeder for a while but spent more time in the clematis.

Baltimore Oriole on heated birdbath in yard. I still put out fruit this time of year and add dried mealworms to my seed mix. Although I do get this bird in the summer, this was a first for this time of year.
